A man was declared the "world's laziest man" after 240 people took part in a "bed rotting" competition in the middle of a shopping mall in China. Competitors were motionless for hours in a "lie flat" contest in Batou, Inner Mongolia, in China. Footage shows the contestants lying down on mattresses as they tried to outlast each other, with many wearing nappies.
Everyone was given a mattress to lie on and they were allowed to turn over, use their mobile phones, read books and order takeaways. They were strictly prohibited from sitting up, leaving the mattress and going to the toilet. Many brought their own blankets, power banks and food so they could stay as long as possible without tapping out. This is not the competitions first edition. It was the third edition of the event and was organised by a home-furnishings brand. The organisers said that there was no fixed end time for the contest and it would continue until the last three winners were determined. By the 24-hour mark, a total of 186 contestants had quit, with 54 still lying flat. The champion lasted another 8 hours a total of 33 hours and 35 minutes until a winner emerged and was then crowned. The winner, a man, also received CNY 3,000 (323) for becoming the "worlds laziest man".
